We Are Not Cousins, We Are Best Friends

So I don't know about you, but I am completely blessed to have a family that loves and encourages me the way mine does. Not only that but they are also understanding. Most of all I am blessed to have a sister and cousin who are the best friends I could ever ask for. I've already shared about Dana so now it's Taylor's turn.

Let me get something clear...Taylor and I weren't always this close. We grew up together. But she was my just my cousin. Now that we are 18 and 21, she is one of my closest friends and knows the most about me, other than Dana. I confide in Taylor and cry in front of her and with her. Over the last 3 years, I feel like when one of us has broken up with a boyfriend, we both felt that heart-brokenness that the other felt or if when of us got a boyfriend we both experienced the joy and giddiness. It sounds gay and a little ridiculous, but that's seriously how close we are. If I go a week without hearing from or seeing Taylor, I have withdraws.

Taylor has been there for me a lot since May. I have cried in front of her so many times. I think a couple of times we've both cried over the matter. I don't want Taylor hating my dad or looking at him any differently because that's her uncle. But Taylor reassures me, she already didn't like him before this, and now she has a good reason. She is awesome!

Although things aren't always butterflies and rainbows for us. We fight like any other friends would. Okay, no disagree. Yeah that's better wording. We don't fight. We are very blunt with each other but we respect each others honesty. My grandparents have this little pink cup that Taylor and I fight over though. It was mine first!

But seriously, I'd be lost without this kid. She and Dana get me through some really dark days. I thank God every morning for them. I love those girls to pieces.
